Ask HN: What happens to the global financial system if the USA has a coup?

What do you think will happen to the global financial system if the United States has an actual coup in 2024?

I am curious what smart people think (hopefully someone with an economics background who studies this type of thing when they happen to other countries).

Background: It looks likely that far-right secretaries of state and governors will be elected in 2022 and in position to disrupt the 2024 presidential election. I hope this is unlikely but given the power they wield it also is "possible".

My main questions are:

What happens to the dollar as a reserve currency? How quick if there are changes would you anticipate those being made?

How does this impact the American and global economy the next month / year from your POV?
